Can you roll the truck, in neutral, using something else to push or tow it?
Sounds like the brakes are locked up, maybe due to a crimped line, or a
defective MC?

Subject: [MV] M35 Brake help needed

| Hello all,
| I am having some brake trouble with my deuce and would like to ask for
| advise. The brakes have been working fine until about a month ago. I was
| moving the truck in the yard and noticed the brake peddle met no
resistance
| and went to the floor. I cranked it up yesterday and did some checking.
I
| did not move the truck any, but I could put it in low gear, mash the
peddle
| to the floor and ease the clutch up. Even with the engine idled up, it
| would choke the engine down with out any movement of the truck.
|
| Now that's weird. I have a couple of trucks with good brakes in the bone
| yard so swapping take off parts will be no problem. The master cylinder
is
| full too. No leaky. I rebuild the air pack about 3 years ago.
|
| Any help will be appreciated.
